CTM 2000 – Get Personal

Go to archived site

CTM 2000 created a dense, experimental nucleus above the rooftops of Berlin. Situated on the 7th floor of the Haus des Lehrers – a sixties modernist high-rise at Berlin Alexanderplatz, where the GDR »Ministerium für Volksbildung« had trimmed its future teachers to the official SED political party line before the fall of the Berlin wall – CTM 2000 revealed the strong convergence of media experiments within the club context and the urban experience of its protagonists. Providing a fantastic view of Alexanderplatz and Berlin-Mitte next to the club´s wall-sized video screens, the location joined urban space with the artificial architectures created by sound and moving images. Openness and transparency of this special venue served as perfect setting for an increasingly international programme. Highlights of the second club transmediale were appearances of Kit Clayton together with Monolake´s Robert Henke and visuals by visomat inc., BBM´s robot-performance, the Raster-Noton showcase, one of cult label Shitkatapult’s first shows, and a legendary DJ set from Dutch electro wizard I-F.
